Snoozer

I picked Addy up after work tonight and took a little detour on the way home to look at Christmas lights. As I pulled in front of a decorated house I asked Addy what she thought of it.....nothing, silence. I looked in the back seat and found her sound asleep.
When I picked her up from Grandpa's house, a few minutes prior, she was bouncing off the walls. Oh well. I guess we will try again tomorrow!

Addy-ism

Me: Did you go shopping with Grandpa today?
Addy: Yeah!
Me: Did you buy presents?
Addy: No we got food.
Me: What did you buy?
Addy: We got donuts! I was so happy I cried!

I swear I don't know where she comes up with this stuff.

Out and About

Addy and I are running errands today and having lunch. Addy picked out a star for the top of the Christmas tree and a caroling Mickey.

We stopped at a salad bar for lunch that only charges fifty-five cents for Addy. True to Addy form she only ate fifty-five cents worth.
I am not sure what is in that slushie but she doesn't look so good!

Beta

I am testing an app that would allow me to blog from my phone. Hopefully I could get more blogs uploaded that way. My first test included three pics that turned into three seperate posts with the same text (see below). Oh well, it is still pretty cool.

Oh, Christmas Tree

Grandma bought Addy this little Christmas tree last year for her room, so we gave Grandma the honor of setting it up again this year. The tree is Addy's night light!

Three Year Portraits

Addy is going to be three years old in two and a half weeks ( not that I am counting down or anything). I had her portraits done a little earlier then usual because I wanted an autumn background. It is a shame she will be turning three since she has just started to really perfect the terrible two's attitude ;)

Halloween Prep

Painting pumpkins and face painting

New Bed

In less than a year Addy out grew her toddler bed. Addy's Daddy bought her a brand new double bed for her room.

Addy gave the bed her floppy seal of approval

So comfy

Laughed Till I Cried

Check out the video at This Is Reverb. I want to watch Addy with this app soooooo bad!

We're Goin' to the Pumpkin Patch...

We're goin' to the pumpkin patch

Just me and my friend Mickey Mouse

Tweet, tweet, tweet

It's going to be sweet

We're goin' to the pumpkin paaaaatch!

We were so excited to go to the pumpkin patch last week

Addy and I made up a little song

(okay, modified an exsisting song)

It has become tradition to go to Anderson Farms in Eerie, Colorado to get pumpkins.

I love that place!

They grow a variety of pumpkins and gourds. They also have corn mazes, animals, food, and other attractions.

Addy got her face painted for the first time. She was considering getting a horse or a ducky and eventually settled on the duck. It doesn't look like it in the pictures, but she was very excited about it and was not happy when ducky wore off a couple days later.

Next we went to see the animals, including this 2 day old alpaca baby.

Food: check

Face paint: check

Animals: check

Wagon ride to pumpkins: Let's Go!

This one is juuuuust right

It was warm , windy and sunny that day and Addy lost interest in her sun glasses so most of my pictures are of her making this squinty face

Addy-ism
Addy:Mommy am I a good girl?
Me: I think you are a good girl and a pretty girl.
Addy: Oh, thank you Mom! I knew I could count on you!

CSU Football

We took Addy to her first football game today.

The Colorado State University VS Weber State game in Fort Collins.

We made it through the first quarter before we had to seek shelter. The rain and wind were too much for us and the little one. It was in the mid 40's with wind and rain. Brrrrr.

After a little time indoors we decided to try to watch the game from a local restaurant only to discover that the game was not televised. Oh well.

Addy enjoyed herself. All the loud cheering and cannons did not bother her (yes there was a cannon). She was so fascinated that it was a bit of a challenge getting her to focus on the 25 rows of steps she needed to climb to get to our seats.

My Little Artist

A month ago I took Addy to Fire It Up Ceramics in Loveland for Paint A Story

The owner reads a story to the kids and then they get to paint a figurine that relates to the story. The story was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and Addy painted a pretty fish.

Addy made it about half-way through the story before she became bored and requested to cut to the chase-painting!

After Addy finished painting she spent a little time looking around the shop. She noticed the large dragon painted on one of the walls, looked it up and down, and in her best big girl voice announced "that dragon is crap!"

Thaaaaank you Addy!

I am going to wait a little while before I step foot in that store again.

(bad cell pics, sorry)
